This is the best summary I could come up with:


The union representing frontline education workers in Ontario is calling on Premier Doug Ford to take action after three of its offices in London, Ont.

London police said in an email Wednesday evening that it is aware of vandalism to the CUPE buildings and investigations are active and ongoing.

"Irrespective of your faith, heritage, sexual orientation, or colour of skin, our government is firmly committed to the safety and well-being of all children in Ontario schools," said Isha Chaudhuri, a spokesperson for Education Minister Stephen Lecce.

Laura Walton, president of CUPE's Ontario School Boards Council of Unions said in a statement that the vandalism was intended to intimidate workers.

"Vandalism is a classic tactic of intimidation that has been used against organized workers and oppressed peoples by mobs that oppose freedom, equality, and justice the world over," Walton said.

The Thames Valley District School Board has told union employees to work remotely Wednesday as a safety precaution ahead of planned protests.


The original article contains 431 words, the summary contains 155 words. Saved 64%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
